From New York to Virginia, step by step

Order the New York certificate
The Certificate of Status ($25) is ordered from New York separately; it is not part of our Virginia order. New York mails it, and Virginia counts the one year from issue, so it is ordered with transit in mind.
We prepare and file Form LLC1052
It names us as your Virginia registered agent, with your New York name and formation date and the certificate attached. Allow for the days New York takes to send the certificate before the Virginia filing goes in. Once Virginia approves it, the New York company can do business there.

Common questions: New York to Virginia

Does my New York company need to register in Virginia?

Yes, once a New York business operates there; Virginia law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Virginia registration cost?

$299 at checkout plus $25 to New York for the Certificate of Status, $324 in all (checkout is $100 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need New York's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Virginia wants New York's Certificate of Status ($25), no more than one year old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for New York and Virginia?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), New York's report ($9, every two years) and Virginia's report ($50).

What if I don't register with Virginia?

A New York company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Virginia can add a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Virginia require a registered agent?

Yes: the New York registered agent stays, and ours covers Virginia for year one.

Can I form a new Virginia LLC instead?

Yes, but New York keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50), and the original keeps New York's Biennial Statement.

How do I withdraw from Virginia later?

New York companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation; until then, Virginia's report stays due alongside New York's filings.
